Comparable to Four Substance Powder, Si Wu Tang, Dandruff Formula, and Four Materials Combination, it is the classical base formula from which many blood-nourishing TCVM formulas are derived, including Tao Hong Si Wu San and Si Wu Xiao Feng San, and is appropriate when a straightforward blood tonification and liver regulation approach is indicated without the need for additional wind-expelling, stasis-resolving, or heat-clearing herbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow is Si Wu San administered to dogs, cats, and horses?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMix the powder directly into food or grain at the dose recommended for your animal's species and body weight. Dogs and cats use the Canine Blend; horses use the Equine\/Horse Blend. Dogs and cats receive the formula twice daily; horses receive two tablespoons twice daily for the first 20 days, then once daily for maintenance. If the horse initially refuses, start with a small amount mixed into grain and gradually increase until the horse is accustomed to the taste. Most horses will readily accept the herbs in their grain. Your authorizing veterinarian will confirm the appropriate dose and schedule for your individual animal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow long does it take to see results with Si Wu San?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMany pets show improvement in coat quality, energy, and general vitality within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use as the blood is tonified and the liver blood is restored. Because liver blood deficiency and Chong and Ren insufficiency are chronic deficiency patterns, a longer course of treatment of 8 to 12 weeks or more is typically needed to adequately nourish the blood and maintain the improvement in the signs of blood deficiency. Your veterinarian may recommend periodic reassessment to evaluate the pattern's response and adjust the treatment plan as the liver blood is gradually restored.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHow does Si Wu San relate to other blood-nourishing TCVM formulas?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eSi Wu San is the foundational four-herb blood tonification formula from which many related TCVM formulas are derived. Tao Hong Si Wu San adds Tao Ren and Hong Hua to address concurrent blood stasis alongside blood deficiency. Si Wu Xiao Feng San adds wind-expelling and heat-clearing herbs to address blood deficiency wind patterns in the skin. Ba Zhen San adds the four qi-tonifying herbs of Si Jun Zi Tang to address concurrent qi and blood deficiency. Your authorizing veterinarian will determine which blood-nourishing formula best matches your animal's full TCVM pattern diagnosis based on the presenting signs and the specific pattern of deficiency involved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
